Key features offered by the IR3846 include
internal Digital Soft Start, precision 0.6V
reference voltage, Power Good, thermal
protection,
programmable
frequency, Enable input, input under-voltage
lockout for proper start-up, enhanced line/
load regulation with feed forward, external
frequency
synchronization
clocking, internal LDO, true differential
remote sensing and pre-bias start-up.

IRDC3846-P1V2
A thermally compensated output over-current
protection function is implemented by sensing
the voltage developed across the on-resistance
of the synchronous rectifier MOSFET for
optimum cost and performance.
This user guide contains the schematic and bill
of materials for the IR3846 evaluation board.
The guide describes operation and use of the
evaluation board itself. Detailed
information for IR3846 is available in the
IR3846 data sheet.

  • Page 2 IRDC3846-P1V2 CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS A well regulated +12V input supply should be connected to VIN+ and VIN-. A maximum of 35A load should be connected to VOUT+ and VOUT-. The inputs and output connections of the board are listed in Table I. IR3846 needs only one input supply and internal LDO generates Vcc from Vin.

    IRDC3846-P1V2 CONNECTIONS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LAYOUT The PCB is a 6-layer board. All of layers are 2 Oz. copper. The IR3846 and most of the passive components are mounted on the top side of the board. Power supply decoupling capacitors and feedback components are located close to IR3846. The feedback resistors are connected to the output of the remote sense amplifier of the IR3846 and are located close to the IR3846.
